NonProfit Management Journal

This is our collection of news, articles, interviews, videos, and other ideas that we've found related to that curious thing that is Nonprofit Leadership. We put these here in one place after weeding through the chaff. We provide what's interesting and pertinent while excluding purely promotional materials. You should feel confident when you click on one of these links that it won't lead you through some spammy, scammy, adventure before you get to the heart of the matter.

Our work sees us partnering with some of the world's foremost thought leaders, and working with both nonprofit and for profit businesses. One of our core philosophies at Krios Consulting is that it is our job to open up the pathway between these two worlds. That businesses and nonprofits have much to learn from each other. To those ends we'll often post articles here that aren't specifically true to nonprofits but which may help shed some light on the greater world of business leadership.

We thank you for tuning in and suggest that you subscribe to the topic so you'll get daily updates from us.

Good timing on this. What a travesty that a tax exempt non profit CEO gets this kind on income.

It’s not about the money. It’s about the mission and the impact. This year-end fundraising blog post from 2013 by a recent nonprofit client of mine, One Justice, absolutely nails why we ask folks for support.

Bill Palladino - MLUI's insight:

I'm a fundraising junkie. My mailbox is full of pitches from this nonprofit and that charity. I'm constantly marking them up with comments of what works and what doesn't. Claire does exactly that with this annotated fundraising blog post from one of her clients.

One of the biggest concerns voiced by potential clients is how to create effective nonprofit content strategies for their social networks. Their struggle either comes from not having enough time to devote to social media or not ...

WashWe’re one month out from NTEN’s annual Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC) in Washington, DC. The official hashtag, #14NTC, is starting to buzz on Twitter, and I’m getting hyped about connecting with nonprofit leaders from around the globe!

Bill Palladino - MLUI's insight:

NTEN is on the horizon in Washington DC for next month. If you've never been there, you should consider it... even if you're not a techie.

I agree with most of these, excepting the first one, About.com. I find About (and Ask.com for that matter) to be ad-strewn and difficult to navigate. The text is small and often wraps around ads that feature similar text formatting. But the rest are all on my watch list for sure.

Bill Palladino - MLUI's insight:

This is a short post urging nonprofits to start the year with some good (better) habits. The thing I like best about the post is that it suggests we only create the "best practices" that we need, rather than collecting every best practice out there.

Good stories are always people stories, says Andy Goodman, a nationally recognized speaker, author, and consultant in the field of public interest communications and the director of The Goodman Center.

People respond to stories of people, not things. Leave the pie charts behind and find a protagonist.
